Crocheted Hearts Wall Hanging From The Archives
How about making a crocheted hearts wall hanging to remind someone that you love them? I made this crocheted hearts and leaves wall hanging using a real branch, to hang in my daughter’s room four yeas ago, and while it did sag just a bit towards the end of its run, all in all it was a huge success. Now we are in the process of redecorating my daughter’s room, so the wall hanging has come down, but it is still such a wonderful project that I thought I’d share it with you again!

It is now the Jewish month of Shevat, so dear friends it is certainly time to start thinking about crafts for Tu B’Shevat, the holiday which celebrates the new year for the trees. Yes, really, trees have a new year’s too, isn’t that amazing? While much of the Western World celebrates the tree in December, we do it around February, just as winter is coming to an end and the very first stirrings of spring and re-birth are happening. The first blossoms in Israel (which happens around Tu B’Shevat give or take) are those of the almond tree, whose blossoms are very much like cherry blossoms, so I’d say this…

Recycled Magazine Page Feathers
Feathers are such a lovely thing to make out of paper, and with Yom Kippur in just two days, and Succot following four days after that, well there is no time like the present than to whip up some great recycled magazine page feathers yourself! Jewish holidays aside, they’d also look just lovely in a baby’s room if done in pastel colors, and in a child’s room done in brights. Make a really big one and frame it for some gorgeous wall art! (Just thought of that, gotta try it, just wish i had an oblong frame……..) On Yom Kippur we liken ourselves to angels as much as possible, and…
